[jdev] [ANN] Jive Messenger is now Wildfire Server

[Norman Rasmussen]

I was recently trying to convert some Java code to C# (to use
SharpZipLib), and I found the 'noHeader' parameters of the Inflater
constructor _HAD_ to be correct otherwise nothing would work.  AFAIK:
the Java implementations have something similar, so you might check
that those values are correct too.
